Arizona State replaces Bobby Hurley with Randy Bennett

The NCAA basketball coaching cycle is heating up. Moments after the Cincinnati Bearcats hired former Utah State head coach Jerrod Calhoun, the Arizona State Sun Devils have agreed to hire former Saint Mary’s HC Randy Bennett. This is a massive hire for the program after they move on from the Bobby Hurley era. Jeff Goodman was on the news.

“Arizona State is hiring Saint Mary’s head coach Randy Bennett, source told thefieldof68.

Bennett, 63, is from the Phoenix area and has long been intrigued by the job. Bennett took over in Moraga in 2001, and has built the program into one of the best on the West Coast.

Bennett has gone to the NCAA tourney 12 times, including each of the past five years, and has won at least a share of the WCC regular-season title each of the past four years.

Arizona State parted ways with Bobby Hurley earlier this month after 11 seasons at the helm.”
